There were a couple of drawbacks I experienced. This was my 2nd time staying with this host but on the 1st stay, I was on an upper floor which was in some respects better, although you have to climb a lot of stairs.
But on the 2nd stay, I had the ground level unit, which at first seemed better (no stairs), but unfortunately there's a regular foul sewage stench that emanates from the bathroom drain. Had to keep bathroom door closed all the time. Plus, this unit is opposite from Maderla restaurant which attracts drunks every night. One night, one of the drunks came knocking at my window after midnight. I ignored it, but then he was able to open my window and started asking me to open the building door because he forgot his key. After that, a bunch of drunks came over to party in the lobby area right outside my room until 2am, hollering. Can't blame the owner for it, but you might have to put up with this type of thing.
Other than that, stay was good. Wifi and hot shower good. Only big usual problem is the terrible traffic and lack of sidewalks in the neighborhood. The city ought to do something about it, very dangerous to pedestrians.
